Life's not easy for Sami Sabiri, especially since his dad stuck him at a private boys' school where he's the only Muslim kid. But it's about to get a whole lot worse.

When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious. Unfortunately, he's not the only one. The FBI raids his home, and suddenly his family is at the centre of an international terror plot--and Sami is forced to question everything he's ever known. Borderline is an action-packed page-turner about loyalty and identity that tackles the ethical debate at the heart of today's toughest security issues, starring a funny and gutsy fifteen-year-old determined to save his father, his family and his life.
